Pull up your favorite aloe root from the mountain or plantation, and be careful not to remove the soil from the root. First put it in a small pot with fine holes, hold it well, then slowly put the surrounding organic soil into the small pot and level the soil. Pay attention to put the soil evenly, and don't put hard objects such as stones in the small basin. As shown in the figure:
Take your own aloe carefully home and put it in a damp place near the water tank at home. Sprinkle a small pool of water under the basin for 24 hours to let the soil absorb water slowly. In the meantime, sprinkle some water under the basin every 12 hours, so that absorption is the most natural and effective absorption method (don't pour water directly into the basin, it is not easy to grasp the water demand of aloe). When aloe is first planted, it is best not to let it get too much sunlight, so aloe will wither easily. As shown in the figure:
After the aloe is left for 24 hours as in the second step, it can be carried to the balcony to let the aloe absorb the sunshine, because after 24 hours, the aloe has basically recovered from the damage it suffered during planting. You can put it on the balcony for a long time, usually 3-4 days. Be careful not to knock over aloe during the activity.
After being placed on the balcony for 3-4 days, a certain amount of organic fertilizer is added to the soil in the basin. Organic fertilizer should be pure natural, such as manure or urea, so that the cultivated aloe is the most lush and tender, which is of course the most beneficial for us to use its fleshy leaves as medicinal materials. It is best not to put too much organic fertilizer at a time, which will be counterproductive.
Cycle this process from the second step to the third step, and then put an appropriate amount of natural organic fertilizer into the basin every five times (that is, the fourth step), and replace the soil in the basin with fresh soil every 20 times. You can also refer to the first step above when changing soil.
Generally speaking, according to the above steps, the proper summary principle is to effectively understand the demand of aloe, which is the same as the cultivation principle of other plants, that is, from the appropriate soil, temperature, moisture and sunshine of aloe.
Selection of flowerpots for aloe cultivation;
Pot quality requirements: clay pot, plastic pot, porcelain pot and pottery pot can be used.
Flower pot size: Aloe can be planted in a flower pot with a diameter of 14 ~ 20 cm.
Fertilization method of aloe cultivation:?
Aloe does not need high fertilizer, and lack of fertilizer is not conducive to its growth.
At the peak of growth, topdressing 20 times of liquid fertilizer or 1000 times of "Huaduoduo" general fertilizer can be applied 4-5 times +0 times.
If sufficient base fertilizer is applied when planting, there is no need to apply fertilizer during the growing season. The base fertilizer can be organic fertilizer, such as decomposed bean cake fertilizer. The application amount of base fertilizer is110 of potted soil.
Top-dressing liquid fertilizer 3-4 times a year in the warm growing season in spring, not in summer and autumn, otherwise the stem nodes will be too long, the leaves will be sparse and prone to lodging.
